How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse Essay

How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse A zombie apocalypse is most definitely not a very friendly world. It is hard to find friends who aren’t going to shoot you on sight, and if you do find somebody, a thorough body inspection is in for the both of you. So what should you do, if the situation ever arises? I will explain to you the Do’s and Do not’s of a zombie apocalypse. First things first; get a weapon. If you can find a gun, GREAT. Just know this; knives don’t need ammo. If you get a gun, Take care of it. Don’t give it the wrong bullets, or your precious gun won’t last you very long.

If you can’t find a gun, this part is for you. First, describe your strengths and weaknesses. Are you smart or stupid? Are you strong or weak? If you are stupid, blunt objects tend to work well. If you are weak, you might want to get something sharp to stab them with. Also if you find a sword, knife, machete, baseball bat (metal or wood is fine) anything that will not make so much noise that will work perfectly. And should only be used when there is a small amount of zombies just so you do not waste ammos quickly. Second, always aim for the head.

PERIOD! And that’s final and here’s why. In theory only the brain is truly reanimated in a zombie, therefore, if you ‘kill’ the brain, you kill the zombie. This is why you can shoot a zombie in the head, provided you can shoot the right area of the brain, or just shoot it off with a high-powered gun. Managing to hit the right part of the brain can be tricky business; you can ‘kill’ the motor functions which would render the body useless, but if you don’t hit the right area, you can also do minor things to the zombie; blind him for example.

This is why using a shotgun or a high-power gun is the most effective way to kill a zombie by shooting it in the head. These types of guns generally will take off all if not part of the face, ensuring you manage to hit the right area of the brain. Third thing you want to do is run to your nearest Wal-Mart. Preferably near a Super market or weapons’ store. So of course if you run out of food you can go visit the super market and if you need more guns and ammos TA DA there you go. Now you should find your way to the roof, bashing zombies along the way. Once you find your way, fortify the entrances/exits.

Be aware of your surroundings. Keep your back to the wall. Head back downstairs and get all canned food and beverages you can find, put them in a shopping kart. Once the shopping cart is full, take it back to the entrance of the roof, and move all your food to the roof. Kill any zombies on the way. (Repeat, about 30 or 40 times. ) Now you should head to a nice hunting store to look for clothes. Camouflage works the best, and I’m talking Mossy Oak/Real tree stuff here, not no Kiddy-Camouflage meaning like a big bird, Mickey mouse, Hello Kitty costume, you need to blend in with NATURE.

Like mud, dirt whatever helps you blend with your surroundings make sure to get as much on you so no bare-skin would show and go look for a firearm. You may be thinking to yourself “SHOTGUN! ” but this isn’t always the best option. I recommend either a bolt action rifle, or assault rifle. It doesn’t matter if the thing is fully automatic or not, just make sure it shoots. Get the right ammunition for your firearm. It should say what ammunition it shoots on the barrel or receiver somewhere. After you get your equipment, load your gun. Be wary for zombies and other people. If it is another person, pick them up.

But be sure it’s a person first, and be sure they haven’t been bitten. Now travel back to your current location. Go back up to your roof. Put all the stuff up there, except one gun. Now go back Downstairs and get several radios (10 should do the trick) and all the batteries you can find. Clock radios usually take 9v batteries. Make sure you get the lithium kind. Now get some headphones, the most expensive kind you can find. Head back up to the roof. Once you are up there, set an alarm on one of the clocks for about 5 o clock in the Morning. Now plug your headphones into the radio, and go to bed.

Make sure all entrances and exits are fortified with whatever you can find animal food bags like the ones for dogs that are huge and heavy or chairs and well you get the point right just block the entrances from the inside (JUST INCASE- Sir captain obvious). Once you wake up from your clock alarm, you just have to survive. Make sure and double sure (and triple sure, for good measure) that you have ALL exits and entrances fortified. Anything you got set it up. Zombies below are basically just target practice. Learn how to field strip your gun. After a hefty day of zombie killing, you are going to want to clean it.

There is usually a manual that comes with your gun on directions for field stripping. If you can’t find any, then you should learn quickly, or your gun will jam a lot and become unreliable. Remember; always be on the lookout for survivors. If they are bitten, kill them. If you are bitten, it’s really up to you. If you are with others, however, kill yourself. Don’t want to get risk killing your friends. If zombies become smart, be alert at all times. See if your entrance has a retractable ladder. If it does, then retract it when you are occupied. You should learn how to shoot accurately. I’m talking “William” tell at 1000 yards accurate.

Keep an eye out for pistols as well. Some of the better pistols out there are the Beretta m9, Gluck 17, Gluck 31, FN 5-7, Walther p99, and FN FNP45. Always look for better AR’s. Some of the best assault rifles are the FN F200, M4 Carbine, Styr AUG, and m14. Submachine guns are useful as well, if you ever need to go into a supermarket and fend off some flesh-eaters. The upside to submachine guns is that they are small. Some of the best submachine guns are the KRISS vector, HK MP5KSD, and FN P90. If you ever have trouble identifying a gun, the manufacturer’s logo is usually stamped on the body of the gun somewhere.

It should also have the model near the logo. When deciding on a scope for sniping rifle, always go with Trijicon. They always make high quality scopes, and when it turns dark, the Crosshairs light up. If you want a good daytime scope, Leopold is the only way to go. When deciding on alternate sites for your SMG or AR, there are many options. The first is a Trijicon ACOG. Don’t use these unless you are far away from a zombie, because they magnify what you see by 4 times. This will definitely hinder you if a zombie sneaks up on you. The best sight for short engagements is an EOTech.

Keep an eye out for these nifty things called night vision goggles. I know that this sounds like a lot right now, but you will need to know these things when you got a massive army of zombies coming after you. Be doubly sure to always have your back to the wall, and check your surroundings before doing anything stupid. Actually, before doing anything. But avoid the stupid stuff. Please go to the next page to see more of a descriptive way of dressing for such event like this. Remember you do not need these exact clothing tips but anything that has extra padding, armor, and helmet, anything that’s of leather or so will work just as fine.

But make sure it’s not too heavy for you and you can freely move around in your clothing. Remember ladies no skirts or heels or anything in that sort for the fact that you may be running for your life and well if your heel breaks no one will care enough to go back for you just to save you for the simple fact that we want to live as well as much as you and we do not have the time to be going back to save you. So remember to dress proper for this type of event alright do we got ourselves clear? Ok good now let me
